Our Independent Visitor Service is looking for volunteers in or near to Stoke on Trent.
For many children and young people living in foster care can be unsettling. You can make a difference by volunteering as an Independent Visitor.
We are looking for fun, reliable, and pro-active volunteers from all different cultures, backgrounds and experiences who have a genuine interest in making a difference to the lives of children and young people.
You will decide with your young person what to do, but activities could include going to the cinema, bowling, playing football, going to a restaurant, riding a bike, or walking in a park. We will match you with a child you share common interests with.
You do not need experience of working with children and young people, just an interest in their development and welfare. Full training and support are provided
Here’s a few of the young people we have waiting for a volunteer:
-
Amy (12) lives with an older carer, she would like an active Independent Visitor who can do sports with her.
-
Brad (13) lives in residential care with other young people, he doesn’t have anyone in his family visit. He would like an Independent Visitor to take him out and have fun, like the other young people.
-
